At $66 though, I think it would be worth it. Unfortunately I won't be in town Mon night.

Phantom is arguably my favorite, and I have it pretty much memorized, so I think I might be horrified at having scenes cut out. I was surprised to see the back-to-back shows of 7 and 9:30, that just didn't seem like nearly enough time. Thanks for the heads up on that.

My $0.02:
I likely wouldn't be in for Phantom...it's the only show in which I've fallen asleep :o If molarchae wanted to see it I'd go, though, and give it another shot. It's very low probability we'd stay until Tuesday or even late enough Monday night to go.
I'm in agreement with the general sentiment of cooking and small gathering at sanity's house. Of course happy to contribute to the food costs and assist in prep. We could even do a sort of recipe potluck where we each are responsible for a dish but then communally cook it.

Sometimes the gatherings aren't so small. (;
...and my kitchen work space isn't that big. I can cook about anything. We can do foods from around the world..... Thai chicken satay with peanut sauce, some kind of yummy Mexican stew, tenuki's ramen, Italian, etc. I have a big grill, so the choices there are wide open.

Haha, I was mostly joking. If we're serious about me cooking, I'd probably do rice cakes (ovalettes). One of the few signature things I can do.

sanity, do you think maybe you can update the thread name to put Las Vegas (or something) at the beginning instead of CyberPub? I keep clicking on this thread by accident when I mean to click on the actual Cyberpub.

What about Jersey Boys? Moving to Paris, IIRC. And supposedly good reviews. Not that I've looked.

So any blends including those as the main ones? So some of the Rhone Ranger wines should work.

Cirque seems to be dominating the Las Vegas entertainment anymore. Not that that's a bad thing, but losing Lion King really makes me sad, I really want to see that sometime, and it just hadn't panned out in previous trips. Don't really have an interest in Jersey Boys. Sad about Phantom being truncated... sigh.

La Reve is supposed to be better than most of the cirque shows but I've never found a great discount on it either.

Whipped cream, from everything I got last time we should whip our own and add what we want to it

If anyone here is an elite yelper, they are planning a 4 day event in Vegas for west coast yelpers (and I'm sure others would be welcome as well), thurs thru sunday. Still in the planning stages, but it will include discounted rooms, free parties, discounted/free? shows etc. Just go to the elite page and click Las Vegas to RSVP.

Let me know as soon as you can firm it up. The reservations are now made, and Cat's friend has officially back out of coming. So the second bedroom is yours if you want it.
The 2-bedroom unit is booked from Friday night through Monday night, but I'll of course only charge you for whatever nights you need. Even with the other bedroom being empty Sun/Mon night, it'll still be cheaper than if we had the 1-bedroom unit for the 4 nights. So it's no big deal if you only have the room for 2 nights, but it'll be available if you wanted it longer. After all, you are more than welcome to hang out with us on Monday too.

If anyone else wants rooms at the resort, let me know.

I'll know more in a couple weeks! Never mind the part where this should have been a done deal about 8 months ago...

I must now put myself into the "regrets" column. I am taking my mother on a long promised trip. She and I made a pact - she survives cancer, and I take her anywhere she wants to go for vacation. We've finally reconciled schedules, and it's my turn to pay up. (A debt I'm more than happy to pay!)

So glad to hear about your Mom, awesome news. Are you sure she doesn't want to go to Vegas?!

I have actually seen Phantom at Las Vegas, and while I have never seen it before, I did enjoy it. The special effects were very nice, but I do have to agree apparently they did truncate the show, so if you are a very big fan I probably wouldnt see it, but it was still a very enjoyable experience.

Phantom is also my favorite....I still cry at the ending!!! I don't know how many times I have seen it.... My hubby and kids love to watch me watching the movie also....they wait for me to cry so they can make fun of me!!
